Pogona minor is a species of agamid lizard from a group commonly known as bearded dragons, and is found on the southwest coast and interior of Western Australia. The species Pogona minor includes the widespread nominotypical subspecies Pogona minor minor, commonly known as the western bearded dragon, which is widespread across Western Australia between the Pilbara and the south coast, and the subspecies Pogona minor minima, which is confined to the Wallabi Group of islands. There is another subspecies, Pogona minor mitchelli, which lives in tropical woodlands of the Kimberley area of Western Australia.
They are similar in appearance to Pogona nullarbor and Caimanops amphiboluroides (mulga dragon), but are distinguished by a smaller head, and the arrangement of spines on the underside... Wikipedia →

No species of the same family or order lives in Perth, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Dwarf Bearded Dragon sighting in Perth on a given day, based on 84 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 6th most-seen of the 23 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September to March
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Dwarf Bearded Dragon in Perth on a given day, against about 10% in April to August, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dwarf Bearded Dragon sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Perth, in our data
Perth is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Dwarf Bearded Dragon sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dwarf Bearded Dragon is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Perth (84 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
